I was yesterday favoured with your Letter of the 11th of March, on the subject of your retiring from service on certain conditions—therein Mentioned.

I have without delay referred your application to the Secretary at War; which is now the only proper Channel thro’ which all business of this kind can be negociated—in two or three days I shall set out for the North River, where I shall expect the pleasure of seeing you in a short time; & in the interim I am with great regard & esteem Dr Sr Your Most Obedt Servt.
